Take a stand and be a patriot

Innocent people were killed and injured in Boston last week. The deadly explosion at the Boston Marathon was the work of a cowardly terrorist.

As of this writing, Monday, April 22, no group has claimed responsibility. Investigators were surmising it was the work of a jihadist terrorist.

(Officials say the suspected perpetrators were brothers Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in a shootout with police on April 19, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was wounded and was later taken into custody). Did you know that there are more than 20 jihad training camps in America? And, they have been operating for years. Do an online search for yourself. One is just outside of Houston. These camps' sole purpose is to train terrorists to kill, wreck havoc, and take over America.

Our government has knowledge of these camps and allows these camps to operate. The U.S. Constitution, Article 3, Section 3 defines Treason only as going to war against the USA, or aiding the enemies of the USA. Allowing these camps to operate on American soil fits the definition of treason, in my opinion. We need strong leadership in Washington from the president and Congress to close these camps, arrest those who inhabit and fund the camps, and try them as traitors. They should receive the highest penalty for trying to overthrow our government. One of the main responsibilities of the federal government is to protect the American people. Allowing jihad training camps on American soil is not protecting us; quite the contrary, it is aiding enemies of America.

When are we going to stop allowing these terrorist camps to remain and operate on American soil? I urge you to contact Rep. Rodney Alexander, Senator Mary Landrieu and Senator David Vitter to voice your opinion on this matter. Take a stand and be a patriot.
